Blitz x Reba puppy (CINCO) now known as Ginger:   UPDATE from Family

Just thought I'd pass this picture along of Ginger (registered as "Southern Star Ginger Belle")She is such a beautiful dog, and is quite the head turner: all the staff at our vet's office finds an excuse to come in to see her when she is there for an appointment. 

Ginger turned 14 weeks old this past Wednesday, and has doubled in size since we got her from 6 pounds to 12 pounds.  She is loving, energetic, athletic, fearless, and intelligent, and always entertaining: she likes to hoard things--5 pound bags of potatoes, all the spice bottles from the spice rack, shoes, dish towels, newspapers--whatever she can find or steal and stack in the corner.  She torments our 90 pound lab by biting his tail, ears, and everything else, but he takes it in stride and they are becoming good friends. 

Hope all is well-

BB   

It's been a few days since our last update.  Vet said he was healthy and she fell in love with the little guy. Aksel was 8.1 pounds at the vet last week. I can already tell he's a little bit bigger than last weeks vet visit too. 

He is SUPER smart. He already walks the leash very well and is almost completely housebroken - no accidents in a few days.  We also have a sensored dog door and he learned that her can go in and out as he pleases in one night. In addition he already sits, lays, and shakes.  Not sure what to teach him next - probably come and stay are the next two as they are most practical :). He loves learning time.

Here is a picture of him playing tug of war with my roommates dog!  Thank you again for all the information, the help, and my amazing new friend!

Hi Leslie!  Just a quick note to tell you we couldn't be more thrilled with Sydney.  She is literally perfect in every way!!  She is fearless, social, loving, smart and beautiful!  We started puppy classes and she goes to daycare three days a week.  The teacher of her class is a nationally known trainer and used to work in the show rings and she compliments you so highly!  Sydney is the smartest dog in any of her classes and she says it is because you raise your puppies so well.

Dodger now Blaze doing well in his new Home

Hi Leslie!  Just wanted to give you an update on Blaze and how wonderfully he has adjusted to our family.  My daughter carries him around everywhere, and my granddaughter is always giving him kisses.  He is so lovable and sweet.  We have not had any trouble with him at all.  The only 2 accidents he has had can probably really be blamed on the house being so busy with all the kids. You do such a great job getting the puppies ready to go home with families.  Thank you!

leslie:

wanted you to know how much of a great family member lacy has made for us.  she's gotten pretty brave but her quirky personality still dominates.  shes incredible with the kids.  they lay on her and love on her and i think she may actually enjoy it!  she roams at night and goes upstairs to check on them at least once a night.  she is the first thing they look for in the morning.  she gnaws on austin's head in the morning to get him up for school.

the non pet lover angela loves her as much as anyone.  she get her primped at the groomer at least once a month (lacy hates it).  she takes her for walks around the neighborhood.

as far as me, shes been great.  she sits at my feet while i work at my desk and loves when i include her in my chores around the house. shes very very intelligent and easy to teach.  she just wants to please me.

just wanted you to know she has been the perfect pet for us.

we still talk often about lucifer with our friends and still manage to get a chuckle when discussing her stories.

hope all is well.

Southern Star Buying Experience

Our experience with Southern Star Mini Aussies was a wonderful one and we will definitely be working with Leslie again. When looking for an addition to our family, Leslie knew exactly which pup would be perfect for us. Zoey, previously known as Poinsettia, was exactly what we were looking for. She has become our best friend and a member of our family! We loved the process of working with Leslie, Southern Star Mini Aussies. It was so nice to be able to go to her home and see that she treats all of the new pups as if they were her own. We knew that the first eight weeks of our puppy’s life were great ones. Zoey was well oriented with the way things were done in a home setting and this allowed for her to adapt very well in our home! We really enjoy the way Leslie does things when it comes to breeding. It is not a dog factory, it feels much more sentimental. Not only does it stop at the eight weeks of her taking care of them and getting them ready to come to their new homes, but she has continuously helped us in our transition into pet owners. Thank you Leslie for everything you have done and thank you for giving us the best pup we could ask for! Love, Teresita

New Outside Kennel

Finally completed some outdoor kennel/runs to use in case of an emergency or a place to let the dogs get fresh air when the weather is nice.  For the most part they still really enjoy their climate controlled area where they lounge in pure comfort...

Update on Jade, aka "Cricket" from her family

Hi Leslie,

Cricket is doing wonderfully! You are correct about her being 100% fearless! She's been many places with me already, met lots of people, and has been simply golden with all of it. After a few days in Dallas, we just got home tonight, so it was her first time to meet my other dogs. She was bold as can be, instantly greeted them, then went to their food (and ate about three times more than I've ever seen her eat before!) Kira, the BC mix, simply adores her. Cricket was running around like crazy, and Kira followed her around for almost half an hour. Whenever she wanted to get Kira's attention, she would go up and grab Kira's tail and tug it. They lie right next to each other, and Kira almost seems to be watching out for her a lot of the time. Ace, the lab, is more jealousy prone (especially since she started playing with his toy), but he eventually warmed up to her some. And she loves all of the cats. 

Housebreaking is going very well, she has never had a single accident indoors! She responds to her name /most/ of the time, and knows sit and down (though we're still working on her staying put for more that a few seconds!) At night, she cries for about 5 minutes when I first put her in the kennel, but then is quiet all the way through the night until about 6. Even with all of her energy, she is an amazingly easy puppy! I have never had a puppy who has been so trouble free the first week! I'll take pictures soon to send you. She's simply precious.

All the best,

Morgan
